I am trying to install an svn client on a friend's work windows laptop without much success. It seems that everyone is using TortoiseSVN nowadays, which unfortunately doesn't install without administrator access. Is there any way around it or another client I can try? I don't need anything fancy - just basic http/https, but a GUI is ver...
I just got through manually removing the bin\ and obj\ folders from around 30 VS projects getting them ready for an initial SVN commit. Yeah, I know, I should have done it alot sooner, but these are personal project on my home PC, and I only installed a SVN server locally today. Anyway, it occurs to me that there must be some easier way...
At the moment I check in all my files (including dll's, VS solution files, images, etc). I often need to checkout these files to a staging server or to a another developer and so having these files there means the project is setup there all ready to go. Whats the best practice here? EDIT: If I don't add the generated files like the dll...
Has anyone seen a tool that will integrate code coverage results with SCM/VCS to attribute untested lines of code to developers? For example, is there a tool that will take NCover's Coverage.Xml, combine it with SVN blame, and produce a report that tells me things like developer who commits most untested code? ...
Hi, I have the following problem using subversion: I'm currently working on the trunk of my project and plan to do some refactoring (which includes renaming files or moving files to different directories). At the same time someone else is working on the same project on a branch. At some time I want to merge the changes made on the br...
Right now, my SVN repository is on my laptop's HDD (although I use a code hosting service for more "critical" personal projects) and I just copy the directory over on a weekly basis (which will eventually be scripted or perhaps I'll make an app for the hell of it). Am I at risk for corrupting my SVN repository? So far, I haven't had any ...
This is a little unholy (from whichever end of the spectrum you look at it). Has anyone built (commercial or open sourced) a front end for SVN that will allow you to access it through a VSS plugin (like the Access 2003 Source Code Control Add-in"). I'm looking for the middle piece this piece of ASCII art: [App /w VSS interface] <---> ...
My employer uses Visual Source Safe for version control, there are many problems with it's implementation, from the fact it's partly used as a document repository, to the problem that some repositories are approaching 20gb. I want to move the company onto Subversion but I'm having problems finding concrete statistics of why it's better,...
I know there are things like doing manual check to make sure the codes committed is fundamentally correct. But beside that? Reason i asking is because a big project there are so many commits everyday. ...
I'm trying to upgrade my subversion server (I have it hosted with Dreamhost) This is what I run: wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.5.2.tar.bz2 wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-deps-1.5.2.tar.bz2 tar -xjf subversion-1.5.2.tar.bz2 tar -xjf subversion-deps-1.5.2.tar.bz2 cd subversion-1.5.2 ./c...
My motivation for trying out git-svn is the effortless merging and branching. Then I noticed that man git-svn(1) says: "Running git-merge or git-pull is NOT recommended on a branch you plan to dcommit from. Subversion does not represent merges in any reasonable or useful fashion; so users using Subversion cannot see any merges you've m...
I have a very large (~6GB) SVN repository, for which I've written a batch file script to do an incremental backup each day. The script checks when the last backup was run and dumps only the revisions since then. The files are named: backup-{lower_revision}-{higher_revision}.svn eg: backup-156-162.svn, backup-163-170.svn. This means tha...
I am creating a new build process for a DotNet project which is to be held in Subversion. For each dll/exe that I compile (via Nant) I would like to include 2 additional attibutes in the dlls that are built. I already understand the workings of the 'asminfo' nant task. But I need help retrieving the information which I hope to embed in...
After asking this question I was advised not to check in binaries into subversion. My question is then what do I do with 3rd party dlls that are required to be in the bin folder? I need to be able checkout a working copy and have that run as a website with all dlls, etc intact. ...
I have to check some code and run it. I have the URL: svn+ssh://[email protected]/home/svn/project/trunk I have a file with their private key. What do I do to get this code? ...
I have a SVN repository for my project; it keeps code, docs, graphs, etc. Everything related to the project is there and versioned. However, I am trying to get some kind of intelligent stats for my code. The stat program I am using is StatSVN - they seem to be best of breed as far as I can tell. However, I am getting results for old fil...
A word of warning: I'm a n00b to git in general. My team uses feature branches in svn, and I'd like to use git-svn to track my work on a particular feature branch. I've been (roughly) following Andy Delcambre's post to set up my local git repo, but those instructions seem to have led git to pick the svn branch that had changed most recen...
I have a home-grown automated build script in the form of a DOS batch file. In part of that script, I check out (with "svn checkout") a section of our SVN repository that includes a bunch of third-party stuff that's used in our projects. This batch file performed pretty well for a long time, but now people have checked in lots of fluff...
Can I ignore a folder on svn checkout? I need to ignore DOCs folder on checkout at my build server. edit: Ignore externals isn't an option. I have some externals that I need. ...
Within my Subversion project I have a few directories that contain other open source projects that my code needs. For example ffmpeg, freetype, matrixssl and a few others. What is the best way to update SVN to hold the the latest version of one of these projects? Essentially I will be doing the following (using ffmpeg as an example): ...
